41 Shaking The Capital (1/2)
Of course, there was no way Jun Mo Xie would know that the item in his hands was actually a supreme treasure. Instead, He was thinking what explanation he could give if he returned it to the Tang Family.
What reason could he use to explain how he got this item.
Even if he decided to not return the item, what kind of benefits would it even provide? He didn’t even know what the item was, much less its value!
After some time passed, he was still unable to think of anything. Then, he sealed up the Xuan Core and placed it into the Cold Jade box, and back into the Goldensilk Sandalwood box. After weighing it in his hands, he placed it beside his pillow.
After considering for some time he pushed it deeper and covered it with his pillow.
It was not that he had recognized it as a precious treasure and wanted to keep a close eye on it. But instead, it was because he had heard that the Sandalwood box would be extremely beneficial to his sleep…
Once there was a person who had bought a box but ended up unknowingly returning the pearls within it, a extremely hilarious tale! However, Jun Mo Xie’s actions today, were extremely similar.
The rain had finally stopped after it reached late night.
Tang Wan Li’s grey hair was ramrod straight, his rage soaring past the skies!
Even as he controlled himself as he rushed towards the Li Family and Meng Family, intending to raise hell for both of them. But when he had reached the Li Family, he had instead felt like had ran towards a rubber wall and was forced to leave without managing to cause any trouble there.
He then decided to focus his rage upon the Meng Family, giving endless troubles there, releasing all the anger built up in him, causing chickens to fly and dogs to jump. Unexpectedly, he was unable to return as an extremely heavy rain had started, causing Tang Wan Li to become even more filled with fury. In retaliation, he then threw an even bigger fit in the Meng Family Residence, cursing everyone to the point of choking on their own spit.
How could he have thought that as he was throwing a fit, someone from his place would urgently come and report a stolen item from his residence? At that moment, Tang Wan Li felt as though a bomb exploded in his head as all the blood surged upwards to his head…
He came to vent his wrath on others but came to find that his own house was turned upside down by someone else. And it had even been an inside job!
Tang Wan Li could guess that the item stolen must be one that he personally valued; otherwise, why would the messenger rush over here through such a weather to inform him! As for which personal valuable item was stolen, there was no need for any discussion, the most valuable could only be the Xuan Core!
Although he had thought of it, Tang Wan Li held on the hope that it wasn’t as such and inquired about the stolen item. As long as it was not the Xuan Core, then all will be right.
However, what he had feared the most had indeed come true!
The Xuan Core, which he valued as much as his own life, was indeed the stolen item! Tang Wan Li’s saw nothing but darkness and he almost fainted right then and there.
Ever since he had managed to get it, Tang Wan Li knew that he had a precious treasure in his hands. All that was needed, was for his descendants to focus on cultivation and reach Earth Xuan rank. Which he would then do everything in his capabilities, even throwing his face away, to invite a few Sky Xuan experts or perhaps even a Spirit Xuan Xuan expert to help him out. With their help, the Xuan Core could be utilized to propel his descendants into the Sky Xuan rank!
Once that happened, the Tang Family would also prosper as long as the Sky Xuan expert remained alive! As for himself, he was already too old. Even if he were to use the Xuan Core to increase his level of cultivation, an extension of his life was only possible if he could achieve the Spirit Xuan rank, even with the help of the Xuan Core, he did not have the talent required to reach it!
How could he have expected the changes that would affect his plans?
He had two sons, the first had no talent to speak of, the second was fairly capable but was more interested in literature and disliked martial arts cultivation.
He stopped cultivating after reaching a mere Ninth Xuan rank, never bothering to even attempt breaking through into the Silver Xuan rank.
Even though his career as a government official had gone smoothly, there was no powerful expert within the family. This feeling where their family’s future and well-being rested upon the hands of others was simply distasteful.
The civil and military officials were naturally all under the governance of His Majesty, the Emperor. However, as long as their family has a Sky Xuan expert, then even the Emperor must consider carefully if His Majesty wished to deal with them!
